Manhattan Loft Guy

Jun. 20, 2009 - developer haircuts at 15 East 26 Street, 333 West 14 Street, 50 West 15 Street + 246 West 17 Street


taking the money and running
In looking at recent loft sales, I came across these five cases (in four buildings) in which a Manhattan loft developer took a pretty good discount from the last asking price to close a deal. In one case*, it is the first closing in the building; in the others, these are close to the last. Just for fun, I have also included the original asking prices for these lofts.

 

  closed on cleared at  last ask original ask

333 West 14 Street* #5

June 2 $1.19mm $1.565mm same
246 West 17 Street #1B    June 9 $998k $1.295mm $1.45mm
246 West 17 Street #1C June 4 $1.35mm $1.995mm $2.225mm

That is a lot of clipping.
